100 WC Week 2 - Volcano

The Earth rumbled: creaking trees, cracking through the light of day. The trees shook the birds from its branches. Off they flew towards the quiet. Rocks crashed down the mountain side. My inner voice screamed for my legs to carry me to safety.

Intrigued I stayed, not knowing what was to come. The mounting peak hissed as plumes of smoke accelerated to cover the beating sun. Seconds passed and then the sky grew darker around me. Night fell. Like the inhabitants of my surroundings, my instincts switched on. I fled stumbling my way through the falling ash. Would I make it home?
